The hope of finding a pdoc as be an on going problem. I wonder if its me? Seems like everyone I see goes down the same path, "so what brings you here today". After seeing them for a month or two, they're sure they've got the right dx. Then the meds are thrown at me.. It never works.

I think often the first med a pdoc tries with a person does not work. It is important to give one practitioner the chance to modify/adjust his prescription based on your reaction. If you switch pdocs after only a month or two with someone, you will be back to square one with the new person and have to start all over. If the pdoc seems generally acceptable to you, try sticking with him/her for several rounds of prescriptions and adjustments. Many psychotropic meds take a month or two to reach their full effects, so this takes time.

I'm not sure of your needs, but going the "No meds" route is also an alternative, instead focusing on psychotherapy. Some therapists have a certain number of hardship case clients they charge a reduced rate. Good luck.
